Are hornby mk2d ok to use for ex gatwick Nir stock

Not perfect - different toilet configuration and seats are different, but not that much different. Bachmann are producing Mark 2F's which are identical (bodyshell wise) to the Gatwick stock.

I wonder would there be enough demand for a retailer or Murphy Models to commission a batch repainted into NIR livery?

[Liverbird81]

I would say there would be I plan to repaint mine into red bull livery no gem van tho. Is it a mk 1 brake with every window filled in bar a few doors

[Liverbird81]

[hurricanemk1c]

For Gat Ex stock it was a Mark 2 brake that was converted to gen van -

 

It was a Mark 2B Brake First Corridor with BR

Why do MM have to be involved with everything now

[BosKonay]

I doubt it would 'fit' with MM to commission repaints.

 

But certainly it's comething the model shops have done before (Class 150, Autoballasters, Dapol Coaches, etc)

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer....

I fail to see how he did.

[Liverbird81]

Well then I'm the amateur curious modeller I'm so sorry for my ignorance. But as this QT was not about the model shop I'm not continuing this conversation

You're more than welcome to ask questions and learn but I fail to see how BosKonay offended you. There was no need to get smart about it. I think you've received good advice on your query and it was you after all who brought up the Model Shop Belfast piece in the first place. We'll leave the thread there.

[BosKonay]

Sorry for any confusion. I was simply clarifying that the Modelshop Belfast are not closed down. Additionally the last respray venture was a joint effort between themodelshop.ie and Marks models iirc?
